Karl Gerstner hat als visueller Gestalter ein Doppelleben geführt: als Grafikdesigner in fremdem und als Künstler in eigenem Auftrag. Im Bereich des Konstruktiven ist Gerstners Werk einzigartig. Nie hat er Bilder im üblichen Sinne entworfen, sondern Algorithmen, das heißt Operatoren, aus denen sich - sozusagen selbstständig - stets weitere Möglichkeiten entwickelten. Eugen Gomringer nennt ihn »den vielleicht umfassendsten Systematiker der heutigen Kunst.« Nach Gerstners Analyse von Marcel Duchamps letztem Gemälde Tu m' und seinem Rückblick auf 5 x 10 Jahre Graphik Design etc. erscheint nun bei Hatje Cantz ein Rückblick auf sieben Kapitel konstruktive Bilder. Etc. In Einzelkapiteln zeigt und beschreibt Gerstner je eine Bilderfindung und spannt damit einen Bogen über seine nunmehr 50-jährige Tätigkeit als freier Künstler - beginnend mit den frühen »seriellen Bildern« der fünfziger Jahre, Partizipationsobjekte, die den Betrachter als Mitgestalter einbeziehen, über die »color forms«, die auf der Basis eines von Gerstner entwickelten Farben-Formen-Modells entstanden sind, bis hin zu jüngsten Arbeiten, in denen Gerstner Grundprinzipien der fraktalen Geometrie in Bilder umsetzt.

Revelation for the serious Bible student
Format: Hardcover
The most complete discussion of Revelation I have read. Be aware it is written in a very academic style, so not for casual reading.

Interesting!
Format: Hardcover
I was surprised to see Schreiner in Revelation. I unfairly had him as a Paul guy only in my mind. It turned out those skills that he is well known for on Paul are found here.
This commentary is, without doubt, a major work on Revelation. It walks in the room and joins the big boys. But just like the other champions of the modern major academic, exegetical commentaries this one takes an “eclectic” viewpoint. That’s the rage of the hour. Doesn’t make anyone too happy, but then again not too angry either.
Like me, you may not take an eclectic approach but rather a specific viewpoint in one of the major categories. Will you still be helped by this commentary? I think you definitely will.
What are its strengths? Impeccable scholarship stands out. Sometimes that’s a pile of dry bones, but here it has life. Here the scholarly “interacting” pays off. It begins in the Introduction and continues in the commentary proper. Here the interaction necessarily involves the different perspectives and that enlightens no matter where you come from.
Another asset of this commentary is its tone. He fairly represents other viewpoints and humbly assesses and shares his own. I often don’t exactly agree, but he’s easy to follow. It’s easy for me to weigh as I’m looking at a fairly represented picture.
I wouldn’t call the structure of Revelation as a whole a strength here. Perhaps that’s the collateral damage of an eclectic position, though he gives a serviceable outline. He does give, however, some nice thoughts on structure in the smaller periscopes.
I’m convinced he sheds light in each passage no matter your overall prophetic outlook. Outside of one that lines up perfectly for you (rare), what more could you ask for?
I received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.

A Highly Anticipated Revelation Commentary!
Format: Hardcover
Tom Schreiner is one of my favorite New Testament Bible commentators. Having used his Romans commentary (now in its second edition), as well as his commentaries on 1 Corinthians and 1-2 Peter and Jude, I recommend him highly!
I read much of his shorter commentary on Revelation in the ESV Expository Commentary series, and found it to be a wonderful help to get my bearings on this challenging book. This full length Baker commentary I have been anticipating for several years and finally have gotten a copy. While I am not persuaded of his rather novel (and newly held!) view on the Millenium, called New Creation Millenialism, I find his basic approach to the book a wonderful antidote to both the more Dispensational and the more preterist approaches to the book.
Schreiner's arguments that Revelation is highly symbolic and recursive (non-linear/recapitulatory) I have found extremely persuasive and greatly affect how one reads the Apocalypse.
